If you go out the backside of the Atlantis Hotel to the docks you can see where the rich pull up and stay. Very nice boats and fun to just look around. They can even get room service. I read somewhere that its like $100 for every ten minutes tied up at the dock.

Unbelievable! if your looking for a fun day, in the sun, on the water, but with sharks, stingrays and beaching thrown in then this is for you. if your looking for pristine toilets, waiter service and 5 star food, then this trip is not for you! We had a ball both on the 1.5 hours high speed boat ride down to Exuma, and back, and during the day - we wanted to stay longer, but alas the boat heads back at 3pm. the website Powerboat Adventures gives a full description of how the day goes, but all in all I would advise you not to have anything heavy planned for the evening if you go on this trip as its exhausting....in a good way.

Unfortunately, I did not take advantage of snorkeling or jet skiing because we were with our beautiful daughter, but if you do decide to go, please take advantage. The water in the Bahamas is so beautiful and clear.

If you are coming to the Bahamas, consider taking at LEAST a one- day private sailing or yacht cruise, if you want to get away from the crowds and busy Nassau and Paradise Island. The islands of the Bahamas stretch out over 100,000 square miles of water with over 700 islands in all, if you visit Nassau and Paradise Island, and think you have 'been to the Bahamas' you will be mistaken and disapointed. One of the best things we did was to combine a hotel stay with a sailing trip to the Exuma Cays (only 30 miles from Nassau but a whole world away). The Exumas have the best beaches (you can relax all day without seeing another soul) crystal clear waters- great diving and snorkeling, HEALTHY reefs, abundant seafood (our captain caught us fresh lobster and grouper!) It was fantastic, really relaxing to look out over the water at night under a million stars! in the Upper Exumas there are no towns, no casinos and no nightlife to speak of, but if you want that stay in Nassau. If you like private white sand beaches, quiet calm anchorages (no boats or jet skis running around) fresh seafood and great snorkeling, come here. There is also the Land and Sea park a little further down the island chain. The boat was very spacious, lots of room for 6-8, showers, bathrooms, double cabins, covered area, huge nets in the front for sunbathing or stargazing. And it costs a lot less than we thought- we brought the groceries and drinks aboard and it was WAY less than a hotel and all those meals out in so-so restaurants, we paid only $700 a day to have the boat to ourselves with captain for six of us! Plus did I mention we caught fresh conch, lobster and fish, and we prepared it right on the boat (with the captain's help) and it was the best seafood we had on the whole time in the Bahamas. We want to go back soon! And Captain Peter was just great- easygoing, fun, but very safe.
He has a web site at www.southerncross-charters.com He will do one day trips and overnight trips of 3-7 nights. Well worth the experience!!!

We booked our trip through the Carnival Excursions, but you can also book directly through the Blackbeard's Cay website.
You board a boat for a 20 minute ride out to the island. There is gorgeous white sand, clear water, eating area, and friendly stingray area. You can snorkle in the water with them and also get squid from one of the guides to feed them. They also offer photos.
It was a great day, however, the only neg was all the broken beach chairs.
